Holistic Dentistry

health with the whole body in mind

What is “Holistic Dentistry”?

Taking care of your oral health is an important step towards achieving overall good health. For too long, dentistry has been viewed as a stand-alone profession. My philosophy is to view dentistry as a component of your overall health team involving physicians, specialists and therapists. We welcome collaboration with your physician and other health professionals. It has been said that our mouth and teeth are the window to our body. Our entire well-trained team is committed to educating each patient on the benefits of a balanced lifestyle consisting of nutritious meal choices, regular physical fitness and smart daily life choices. In particular, our office in partnership with other health professionals organizes, collaborates and will provide you with the tools and support to kick unwanted habits such as smoking and poor nutrition. The key to achieving physical and emotional health and well-being starts today with the right choices you make. We welcome the opportunity to assist you on your journey to better and lasting oral and general health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your approach holistic?

Holistic dentistry means we care for your teeth with an eye on your whole-body health, not just the tooth in front of us. Research continues to show meaningful connections between oral health and overall health, so Dr. Novack combines proven clinical care with a broader view of how the two relate, always grounded in established dental science.

Is holistic dentistry the same as alternative medicine?

No. Our holistic approach still uses evidence-based dental treatment. We simply also consider how your oral health connects to your general well-being alongside standard care.

What does holistic care focus on here?

Our holistic care centers on education, prevention, and long-term well-being, treating your oral health as one part of your overall health. We are glad to talk through your options at a consultation.

Why choose a holistic dentist in North York?

If you want a dentist who considers your whole health, not just your teeth, Dr. Novack, a third-generation dentist, built her North York practice around that approach.

How does my oral health connect to my overall health?

Research continues to show meaningful connections between oral health and overall health, including links studied between gum health and broader well-being. That is why our holistic approach treats your mouth as one part of your general health rather than something separate from it.
